Just wondering if the contrast has improved...thanks. (I am already aware that the resolution increased)
I am also wondering if the new screen is any easier to see in daylight...
In my honest opinion, contrast is worse than my Evo4G (Epson) and the screen is slightly harder to see in the sunlight.
For me I can see it a little better in the sunlight. My big thing is even in a low lit room I seem to get a reflection that distracts my eyes when looking at 3d pics and stuff, but just normal use during the day outside is better for me.

Same here..Evo3D seems a lot easier for me to see in the sunlight...As for the screen its self,it has a warm temperature to it.Whites are not as bright as they use to be on the OG Evo...but its really easier on the eyes this way.
Sent from that EVO3D Thingy...I need an asprin.
I love the screen on the 3d versus the og .... Always felt the og had a washed out look the 3d doesnt give me that same feeling.
both are equally bad under sunlight. Hardly can see it.
i am also wondering what screen has better color and brighter i have always been jealous because samsung phone produce better screens but hopefully this screen on the evo 3d looks better then the og if not i will not be getting this that would be a embarrassment
Having both phone in my hand right now i can honestly say that evo 4g looks better. The evo 3d has a yellowish tint to it. White looks yellowish while og evo look pure white. I know.this can be fix after rooted but i kind of hate this yellowish tint (warm color). It wont be noticable to you until you hold both phones next to each other.

Could anyone post some photo's of a side by side comparison between the Evo 3D and the old Evo (or Desire HD)?
The screen of my Desire HD is fine for me, although it can be a pain to see it in bright sunlight even at 100% brightness. I'm very interested to see some pics of the Evo 3D's screen in bright sunlight at 100%, 50% and 0% compared to some of the older HTC phones.
For what its worth, the Nexus S screen is also very hard to see in sunlight. Also the Samsung colors are way over saturated - not accurate at all.
OTOH the Blackberry Bold is very easy to see in direct sun.
*also wondering, is the active part of the screen more narrow on the 3d, or is the bezel just smaller? Thanks y'all.
Wow, this doesn't look good. The two main reasons I was considering this phone was for higher contrast and better look in daylight! I can't see using an upgrade just for a speedier processor.
My phone performs great in Sun light.

I have no problem reading the 3d in sunlight but I also didn't have a problem with the OG EVO. It is not the sharpest under the sun but I have no problems with either one.
Having said that I was expecting to see a much more improved screen over my EVO but that was not the case. I had sold my EVO a week before I got the 3d so I can't compare side by side but I don't think I can tell the difference between SLCD and LCD. This might also be that none of the graphics look they they were converted to qhd as they do not look high def at all......
Either way, the OG EVO was a great device but I do believe the EVO 3d is a total all around upgrade and worth it's value.
To each his/her own, but I believe the 3vo has a way better screen. All the reviews say the s-lcd is gorgeous as well.
Holding it next to my novatec evo 4g, there is no comparison. Resolution makes a huge difference, but colors are way better as well. It is a matter of opinion if you prefer a cool white (purple tint) or a warm white (more accurate, I don't see the yellow tint). Beyond that all the other colors are great. For example the angry birds icon look much better on the 3vo than the evo. I held the 3vo side by side to the samsung infuse (the 4g, At&T super + scree), and I can honestly say I prefer the 3vo. The evo is brighter, and the colors are vivid and accurate. Yes, the blacks on the infuse are deep, but all the other colors are cartoonish. It was even more evident when I compared two picture of myself on both phones. On the 3vo, I looked normal, and on the infuse I had orange skin.
Compared to the nexus s, the 3vo wins again. The whites look horrible on the nexus s. Very dirty looking.
Then again, just my opinion. I also have fine performance in bright sun light.

The Evo3D has alot more to offer than just a speedier processor... but I am sure you know that. Given that you've compared the spec sheet with the OG Evo... is a higher contrast screen all that constitues using an upgrade for you?

Yes, the screen has a lot to do with it. Believe it or not, the OG is fast enough for me! ;-) What I am looking for is better screen, smaller size, better battery life, and not much else honestly. The OG is a great phone IMO. It has simply worked the way it should from the get-go. Cheers to HTC for putting out such a good phone.
Also, no one answered this question earlier...
I am wondering, is the active part of the 3D screen more narrow and longer, or is the bezel simply smaller?

the screen is more narrow and longer which I wasn't crazy about BUt it's actually rapidly growing on me. I feel that the screen is easier to see in sunlight and I didin't realize how bad the purple tint on the 4G screen was till I put the 3D next to it. for me the screen was readable even with polarized sunglasses on (the evo would be practically invisible with them on)
Good to know, thanks.
I like some feedback by former Epic owner with their experiences and comparison with the Evo3d vs the Epic. I'm thinking of pulling the trigger and getting the Evo3d today. I'm looking for honest feedback by former epic owners only and not fanboys.
I would also like to know former Epic owner opinions. I spent some time at the Sprint store, but I couldn't make up my mind. One thing I noticed was that the Epic's camera seemed better than the 2D camera on the EVO 3D.

I thing Samsung has on HTC is there camera, but I have been able to get some great pics 2d pics with the EVO's camera. With good light, it produces some great color.
I had the Evo running Fresh and Myn's for the longest time. Switched to the Epic just out of boredom. I loved it. I ran ACS SyndicatROM 1.1.0 - 1.1.1...
I made the switch for the faster processor. Ultimately hoping in the end... we could get a clean ROM and it being faster. I miss the keyboard a little. But I have my Epic sitting here chilling. I can go into more detail later... I have to go to work.
I'll bite. Sense 3.0 is amazing. My last experience with Sense was on the Hero and it sucked so I went with vanilla on the Moment. There is less lag with 3D vs the Epic. Good test is opening the application menu waiting for the icons to load. It's like less than a second on the 3D. You'll miss the camera but this is not horrible and 3D is pretty damn neat. The Epic screen does have that "wow" factor to it with blacks and color but after using the qHD screen and its level of detail you won't go back. 3D movie and YouTube watching is amazing. The well produced ones will actually pop out of the screen. The key to viewing is holding the phone at the right spot for your eyes. About 50% better battery life. No joke. The onscreen keyboard rocks. I hate swype's. HTC'S plus having a swype ability makes having a physical keyboard a mute point. The phone is also really solid. Not flimsy and flexible like the Epic. 4G takes a longer time to initialize. The Epic loads it a lot faster but the 3D's is a lot more consistent. ALSO, HTC'S power saver doesn't cripple your phone at low battery like the Epic. You can run it into the ground if you want.

Well, so far I still have both until we get the within. After that I'm dumping the epic. The 3vo has been a really nice upgrade from the og evo in terms of speed. I just like the way sense incorporates all of the social apps in itself.
In terms of the epic versus 3vo in speed I would have to say that I can't really "feel"a huge jump, but that's probably mostly cause of sense being a huge chunky glob of software that has to be pushed. I'm sure if it were running on the epic it'd probably get bogged down cause the lack of ram.
The one thing you'll still miss is your bright screen and louder speaker. So far those are the only two real world things that are worth a regret if I left the epic entirely. I wouldn't even consider the keyboard a loss since I don't use it, but you might. I find the camera in 2d mode to still struggle in low light compared to the epic which doesn't struggle as bad.
There is still a lot of optimization to be done for alot if apps to run correctly to their full potential as well. Only time will really tell as dual core phones trickle out.

I just recently came to Sprint. Wife got an OG Evo, I got an NS4G. The NS4G's broken radio pissed me off and I took it back, got an Epic instead. I really liked the hardware on the Epic compared to my wife's Evo. The screen in particular, Super AMOLED is the bees knees. The one thing that I really hated though was the lackluster development community. Coming from a G1 and an HD2, I've always had a plethora of choices when it came to choosing a rom. Not the case with the Epic. I was jealous of my wife's Evo in that regard.
Originally, I was going to hold off for a SG2, mostly for the screen... but the more I thought about it, the more likely it seemed that the Evo was going to have more dev support, and ultimately went with that. I was reluctant to give up my beautiful screen, but I did.
A few days in now, and I can't put this damn phone down. I don't like the size of the 4.3 inch screen on the OG Evo, but the 16:9 screen on this is just perfect. It gives me plenty of real estate without the phone being as wide as my pocket. It's the perfectly sized screen for a phone, and I love it.
Sense 3 is neat. A little bloated, but there's a lot of cool **** in there. I look forward to devs picking it apart.
Other than that, the phone is fast as hell. The hardware is solid. The 3D is a little gimmicky, but it's still fun. The 2D camera is disappointing, that will be a downgrade from your Epic. I'm a photographer though, and usually have a plethora of camera's on hand when I'll need them. A cell phone camera, for me, is to catch spur the moment things. It would never be used as a camera in a scenario where I knew I'd need one before hand.
All in all, after being really leery to give up my phone, I'm really glad I did. This phone is great. Get it, you'll be glad you did.
keep ur epic until something better comes out..Epic camera is better..speaker is 10 times louder for streaming music and mp3 files..Epic starts much faster as well..I am switching back 2 my epic sometime next week...HTC 3d speaker is so damn low its horrible and embarrassing..keep ur epic
The epic speaker is MUCH louder, but the battery on the stock 3d is light years better than an epic and I was running SRF with Genocide kernel. My biggest gripe from making the jump is that the data speeds on both 3 and 4G are slower on the 3d. But for the faster day to day use, plus Sense, which IMHO is better than touchwiz, I think its a worthy upgrade especially considering that root is coming shortly and the optimized tons are gonna make this a beast

The epic is a GREAT phone. I loved that phone. Sometimes i get homesick for the loud speaker and play with my wifes epic. There is no comparison between those two phones. the 3d has twice everything the epic has...memory, processor, bigger battery. the extra 50 for the 3d is money well spent. i am glad i got the 3d, don't regret it.
I had the Epic and in a phone shuffle gave it to my wife and I got the Evo 3D.
I think both phones have their ups and downs. The Epic has a beautiful screen and, if you turn it down the brightness, battery life is greatly increased. I also really miss the keyboard when getting into a "texting conversation" - for 1-2 texts the Swype keyboard is fine, but for hardcore texting, a real keyboard is better.
The phones weigh about the same to me (don't know actual weights) so that isn't an issue.
The capacitive keys on the Epic are fairly unresponsive and often require a few taps to register (the home, back, menu, search keys). That is an issue I have not seen on the E3D.
The Evo is noticeably faster yet the speed difference is not so remarkable that I would just throw away the Epic like yesterdays garbage.
I haven't compared an identical picture side by side from the cameras, but the E3D camera (2D mode) seems comparable.
The biggest difference is in the screens. AMOLED (Epic) is truly a beautiful piece of technology, but the E3D screen looks "sharper" and I would guess it has higher resolution and pixel density...again, don't know the actual numbers. But it is a visible difference.
One of the only other things that bothered me about the Epic was the power switch and USB port. They were both in bad locations and they should have swapped locations.
If given a choice I would probably go with the Evo 3D for the hardware bump and I actually like the 3D. It takes getting used to...kind of like those pictures you have to look at for a long time and a 3D image pops out...you have to almost "stare through" the picture to see the picture, but now I see 3D on it with no problem. Took a few hours of playing and looking to get used to it.
AMOLED screen was bright and nice at the beginning but with time, it got harder to read text on the screen. I don't miss it at all and I'll never switch back. Obviously, the speaker and camera are better on the epic. The 3d aspect of the phone is definitely not a gimmick. Sense is buttery smooth and well worth the switch alone.

I'm from the Epic. I honestly miss Touchwiz and i can't stand sense. i do like the music widget on the lockscreen, but to use to widget, you have to be using sense launcher. I also miss flashing and theming stuff. Hopefully evo gets s-off soon, kinda turns me off all the way with HTC even thinking about locking it up. Tbh, as soon as sgs 2 comes for Sprint, im ebaying the 3vO for it.

Ok boys, thanks for the great feedbacks. Well today I ended up getting the EVO3d. So far I only had it for a few hours and I already miss my epic speakers, screen and keyboard. But overall I'm very excited about my new toy.
Any updated thoughts from those of you who have switched?
I think the 3d fun has lived a short life. I don't find myself shooting 3d video's or taking 3d pictures anymore. If the 3d had more of a pop out of the screen look, then maybe but most of the 3d available just looks like a hologram.
The thing that really convinced me I am over it was playing Asphalt 6 3d. I decided to put it in 2d mode so I can use the tilt feature to steer and then realized how much crisper and clearer the picture was and the colors were just beautiful. It made me really appreciate the 3d's screen. Put it back in 3d mode and everything just became so bland and dull with a hologram effect. Maybe if the car popped out of the screen or something it might seem much cooler, but until we start seeing things like that, I won't be purchasing any more 3d items.
At least it will be easier to jump ship in the future to a non 3d phone as I thought it would be something I would miss in the beginning.
Now after saying that, at least I still have a beast of a phone to play with!
Anyone else starting to feel the same way about the 3d and starting to use it less and less?
Hell no. I watched transformers 3 in 3d and can't wait for that. An avatar 3d.
The phone is awesome for 3d movies.
The games is so so.
Some pics rock. Some split your brain.
But the movies. Damn I'm loving the movies.

Took a 3d video of my kids on a swing set, it looks really cool.
3D is a bonus with this phone, and shouldn't be the main reason to get it. Mostly mine is used to show the phone off to friends. That and the printing capabilities. It took me 5 minutes max to get over the unique 3D experience glow. When I can lay the phone flat on a table and watch a movie play out holographically atop it I'll be impressed.

So confused why people think if it would think that if the 3d would "pop out" then it would be better. I think that looks cheesy and holographic. 1) you want that get creative and try new angles. It will have the effect. 2) Glad it doesn't I would have to wear glasses. to use and play with my phone.
sorry I'm a big fan of depth of field, and not Back to the Future II where Jaws pops out of the screen and tries to eat him.
I find myself taking almost all my pictures in 3D as I can convert them to 2D But I would hate to take it in 2D and later say Dang I bet that would have been awesome in 3D

For me I was over it a few hours after purchasing it. 3D didn't play any part in my purchasing my 3Ds. The other specs had me drooling. I've gotten mostly good reviews from people who I have told I had the 3D and showed them some scenes from Avatar & Clash Of the Titans that I had encoded but for me 3D is a fad.

Don't get me wrong, I didn't by the Evo 3d because of the 3d feature, it was everything else that impressed my, but the first week or so I was totally all about the 3d. Not so much now.
Thanks, yeah meant glasses free. It is so cool just to whip out the phone while waiting for appointments or whatvever dead moments in life. You can only surf the web so much. Adda another dimension. Ha. Can't wait for more of everything 3D. Loving it.

omg, the 3d is awesome! I wish the whole world was in 3d!
I love the movies but the games are lacking. I do get a bit of eyeache after a bit forcing my eyes to not focus farther away (through the screen) because it does look like the phone is my window into another world at times. I look away for a second and they feel better so it doesn't bother me to much. I think I will get used to it eventually
NOVA3D is great. (I have OC'd to 1.8ghz too) The shot's fired at you actually come "at you" so to speak. Also the guns being held have depth to them and the shotgun blasts are fun to watch.
Also I'm still taking pictures in 3d and 2d. I like to see the difference between the two. It's not even why I bought the phone, but it's really fun.
I see the 3D the same as I do the 4G...I don't use it all the time, but it's a nice feature to have.
I actually really like the 3D. Games are okay and pictures are pretty cool, but videos and movies are awesome. Although I don't always use it, I like being able to when I want to.
I have only experienced the screen from the og evo and the qhd on the 3d but the rave seems to be the samsung samoled screen. Those that have have hands on with other screens what is the best looking screen in your opinion? I have spent time with the retina display on the iphone 4 which is nice but is just way too small for me. I have read the super amoled plus is as good as the retina i just havent had hands on time with it. Is it that much better than the 3d's screen?

I've had the Epic 4g (not touch) and the Nexus S 4g, EVO and EVO 3d and I can honestly say the S AMOLED screens have better color than the Evo 3d but I still prefer the Evo 3d screen.
I prefer the sgs 2 screen is really good too bad is not 720p cause those phones got some really big screen, so far my favorite definition and screen is the iPhone 4, really make a difference when looking right next to another phone , evo 3d is just wash out for some reason

From what I've heard, the lg nova screen is the best screen on the market. I haven't actually seen one though. I thought the sgs2 screen was too cartoony looking.

I am definitely interested in seeing the 720 hd display on the new google phone. I am just amazed how fast phones are progressing. I wish they had a 6 month upgrade plan and even then you would be behind the times. I am still shocked at the camera on the prime though. I know mp arent the only thing that matters but at this point 8 is the standard it seems and many are coming in at 12mp. Hell i remember when phones first got cameras and how awesome everyone thought they were

I had the Nexus one before and right after I switched to the 3D I noticed the screen wasn't as good as the AMOLED. That being said, after a couple days it wasn't an issue, I only noticed after using it for over a year and immediately comparing it.
Side by side there's a difference but the E3D screen is just fine. I wouldn't base any decisions off the screen.
EVO 3D screen is good enough for me...

iphone screen size is too small... 3.5"
Super amoled is superior in terms of color, but it is darker than qhd. I personally like the qhd, and even with a side by side comparison to the best screen out there I would never have that be what determines the phone I get
I think that samoled is prettier to look at, but I'm happy with the Evo 3d's qhd crispness!

This. Especially when using LCD Changer and changing the density to a smaller one..the E3D shines!
My friends have the SGSII, NS4G, and Epic 4G. After using their phones I feel like my screen is definitely second-rate, although the qHD aspect of the EVO 3D's screen is soooo incredibly awesome.
The SGSII may be only 480x800, but each pixel also has 3 sub-pixels, so keep that in mind when bashing it's resolution.
After owning the E3D and now the SGS2, I must say the SGS2 screen just amazes me everytime I look at it. Resolution truly means nothing when comparing these 2 screens.
I do agree that the SGS2 looks more cartoony but I think it just looks more fun because of that. The E3D looks like a much more series screen. The colors on the E3D look extremely washed out when comparing to an Super Amoled Plus Screen. It almost looks like the screen has been sitting out in the sun for months and just faded.....
Speaking of the sun, when outdoors the SGS2 screen can be seen crystal clear as well. It can't even be explained, it is just something you need to see. The screen just cuts through the sun....
You just need to decide what is important to you and go with it. To some the screen means everything, to others not so much.....Either way the SGS2 takes the cake when comparing screens.......
SAMOLED by a mile. As for people saying the SAMOLED screens look over-saturated: You're probably just too used to the washed out LCD look. I truly miss my Epic's screen, even with it having a pentile sub-pixel matrix.
Best things about the sgs2 screen is the color depth, the whites and blacks are amazing. The evo3d screen as a lot better resolution, but you get used to it after a few weeks. As far as the oversaturaed look people mentioned , there are different modes in the display settings to adjust the color saturation to your liking.
I try but i just cant see why everybody likes amoled so much. I tried to love my nexus s 4g screen but couldnt handle it. Its so dark, the whites look like they need bleached. I have noticed that the evo3d only looks bad when someone is taking a video of it such as youtube. I do need to spend more time with the samoled plus screen. Im also not buying in the the samsung 3 sub-pixl thing either.

The screen is different on the sgs2 then it is on the Nexus 4G. On the sgs2 the screen is nice and bright, far from being considered to dark. You really need to see it in person, you cannot base your opinion off of the Nexus 4G, they are different screens.
I set my 3D to full brightness, and did the same with my bro's Nexus-S 4G ...we then opened up the first level of Angry Birds RIO since the game has pretty much every color under the sun. The colors on the Nexus were richer, with more contrast...but the smaller details were far far better on the Evo. The most obvious difference was the eyes in the birds. On the Evo they were clearly detailed, you could see the outter and inner eye while on the Nexus it pretty much a blur with some pixelation. Try it out. I also felt the 3D had a second rate screen as well, still do actually, but that was a welcome surprise.
Okay, phone has been out for 7 or so months and still don't see anybody developing 3D homescreeens, similar to what you could see in the first commercials. The option for the screen to "tilt" from side-to-side isn't what I'm talking about. Or is the phone not capable of this?
I believe it is capable to do, but however the source code for 3d is not available, which is why the 3d doesn't work on the camera in any roms yet
my 3D camera works
So you want the parallax barrier engaged on the home screen, so sense itself is in 3d? I'm pretty sure that's gonna take some work to accomplish. Plus source code etc. Not likely gonna see that happening, I wouldn't hold my breath.

true, but would be nice.............when people see my phone and say, "oh, you have the 3D phone? let me see it"........the first thing they see is the homescreen that isn't in 3D, would be nice instead of having to fire up The Green Hornet or go to the 3D Gallery pics........maybe I'm asking for too much.
Spb shell has 3D (it's still experimental) battery drainer and only 3D in landscape... But still it's kinda nice.. altho I wouldn't keep as my homescreen...

LG Optimus 3D -which is Android based- has its own 'Media Launcher' in real 3D and it's awesome.
I wouldn't count on it, since the screen only does 3D in landscape mode.
Most people aren't looking for a launcher that just runs in landscape mode.
Now a 3D dock mode would be pretty cool, but then again, I think there's isn't much use for it and it will kill the battery pretty quickly, but being in a dock, power usually isn't an issue
As nice as it would look (initially) It would rinse your battery in double time, maybe even triple time, plus your eyeballs would probably fall out with pain.
For a little bit of eyecandy for a short duration then yes, but I can't see anyone developing this, and as people have said, without source code it would mean building it up from scratch, like i said i can't see anyone doing that.
I know what you mean tho Would look cool, just not practical.
Well, I use the 3500mah battery so no issue there.
